World 2nd 25H Spine down by Stars

New breed of crazy asian is taking over the gaming world.

since the times the boss in question is harder in 10-man version?

There might have been a couple of fights harder on 10 man this whole expansion. There is no proof of the 10 man version of this fight being harder. The only proof we have is that none of the Top 5 Tier 12 guilds have killed Spine and sheer numbers seem to indicate the requirements are higher for 25 man.

Going with 4 mages with a legendary in 10 man is like going with 14 in 25 man except, 25 man is balanced around having all the available buffs and 10 man is not. Now, since this fight looks like a burst race, even if they were tuned the same (and 25 man seems overtuned compared to 10 man in terms of sheer numbers as Paragon and those who have also seen the 10 man fight are learning the hard way) the 10 man with 4 mages would still have the edge.

10 mans have had their ranking separate all expansion for a reason, it's funny we now mix them with 25 man...

Good day sir.

Paragon and Blood Legion should have used their double FL lockouts to gear up all their Arcane mage alts like Kin and Stars did - oh wait.

Apparently not tuned as it is now. So you could still not know before hand.

The gear is not an excuse it's just the reason why KIN Raiders got the WF kill. They just distributed the loot better for this fight. They didn't have superior tactics or 'skill'.

edit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjcCcKcBth8 I guess these guys gave 7 mages legendaries to kill it on PTR?

I disagree. Gear is a tool. Everyone had the same opportunity to test PTR, everyone was able to see what the 4pc t13 set bonuses were. KIN Raiders bought or recruited the right tools. I expect every guild attempting for WF or top five to have the proper tools, if they don't that's their own fault and not 'lucky' that another guild did. Hell, they could have recruited mages w/ the legendary after seeing it on 10m. That excuse is ridiculous.

Second, saying they didn't have superior tactics or skill is ludicrous. Absolutely they did, that's why they killed it first. They killed it first because they were better prepared than everyone else. End of story.
